Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 15,069. Pearce, H., and Barratt, W. June 28. Fixed - chamber apparatus for aerated liquids; controlling passage of gases.-An apparatus for aerating liquids, which delivers equal quantities at each operation, comprises an aerating- chamber D surmounted by a gasreceiving chamber H of about the same capacity, and supported on a valve casing containing gas and water supply valves, a snift valve, and an aerated liquid discharge valve. The water-supply valve F is operated by the depression of a member N<4> attached to the pivoted handle of a rotary disk N, and the other valves are operated by cam-surfaces on the disk. A snift pipe I passes vertically through the chamber. In operation, the disk N is brought into position to open the snift valve and to bring the member N<4> over the water-supply valve F, so that this valve may be opened, whereupon water enters the chamber D to the upper level of the pipe I, and excess escapes down this pipe. The disk N is then rotated to close the water-supply and snift valves and to open the gas valve, so that gas passes through a perforated baffleplate M into the liquid, and excess accumulates in the chamber H. The gas valve is next closed and, upon the opening of the snift valve and the discharge valve G, aerated liquid is discharged from a spout G<2>. The water may be taken from a reservoir which supplies water to the level of the top of the chamber, and the snift pipe may be carried to the top of the chamber H. The aerating-chamber D may be divided by longitudinal partitions, or may be formed of a number of separate tubes. The apparatus is adapted for filling bottles or siphon vessels under pressure by attaching a filling- head to the discharge spout, and fitting in the disk N a spring block which, on depression, will open the discharge valve G while the gas-supply valve is open, operation of the spring block being effected by a pivoted handle, which also operates the snift valve of the filling-head.

Abstract: 17,473. Stragiotti, P. Aug. 11, 1908, [Convention date]. Exchange systems.-In a central-battery system, the battery current, maintained substantially constant by the impedance I, is varied in two parallel circuits containing induction-coil primaries P', P<2>, by means of a differential microphone M. The talking currents induced in the secondaries, which are in series, flow in the same direction to line. The impedances I, I<c>, at the subscriber's station and central respectively, prevent the talking currents from being short-circuited through the microphone M and the central battery. A constant current may flow through the receiver coils, thus energizing the magnet and rendering a permanent magnet unnecessary. The subcribers calling-lamp is indicated at L, and the ringing-key at Q.

Abstract: 5266. Brougham, F. J., [Poldih³tte Tiegelguszstahlfabrik]. March 2. Induction furnaces.- A lining A is approximately uniform in thickness, to avoid cracking, and is provided with one or more yielding layers P of magnesite sand for instance, to allow expansion. The lining A may be cooled by a jacket C, and, as shown in Fig. 5, may have its inner wall inclined less steeply and its outer wall more so than usual, to diminish the liability to cracking; for the same purpose and to prevent molten metal from escaping if cracks occur, the lining, as shown in Fig. 6, may be embedded, all round or at intervals, in lumps of refractory material with sand or the like in the interstices. Parts of'the lining not in contact with the charge, and such parts as the tapping- , spout and elevations for heating the slag, need not be of uniform thickness; the cooler parts, if of brittle material, may be thinner than the remainder. In making the furnace, the lining is rammed in while the expansion spaces P are filled by blocks, which are afterwards withdrawn; the construction shown in Fig. 6 facilitates this.
